[The Diamond Flush]

This marks day 7 in the soil for the 2 bigger ones, and the last 2 that I planted yesterday 1 of them has already poked through the soil with its shell still on, the other still no signs of life. I still dont have enough lighting... im using like only 3 CFL bulbs atm... Im thinking for now im just going to have to get a 200w CFL from home depot for like 60 bucks.. I cant really afford much more right now. Here are a few pics.. I just misted them.

For now they are just sitting out like that.... I dont have proper exhaust to use on the tent I have... Plus the tent was WAY bigger than I expected which isnt so great but whatever. I probably wont be using the tent until I come up with an exhaust fan and a HPS. I didnt plan this grow out very well. But well see how it goes... Hopefully off of the 4 I have in the right soil now.. ill get an ounce per plant...

So out of the 2 that are growing now.. one grows more every day and the other hasnt grown at all since the transplant. It doesnt look unhealthy at all just no new growth.... Starting to worry a bit about her. only 1 of the others that I platned has started to sprout a little bit. Im kind of mad at myself. I think out of 9 seeds I may only end up getting 3 going..... 2 maybe gotta plan this a little better next time. But im going to wait it out and see what happens with these....

So this is day 10 or 11 that they 2 bigger ones have been in soil. The biggest one is starting to grow alot, the smaller one is just now starting to show slow signs of growth after transplant.

I added about 140 more watts of 2700k CFLs. I plan on having about 150watts per plant. The 10$ 45watt CFL's 2700k from walmart are just fine I do believe. I need 3 of them on each plant to get around 135 watts per plant.

one of the others has sprung up about 2 inches above soil but with the seed still on but it looks like its falling off. Im going to just let it do its thing.. its in its final 3 gallon bbag.. thats where this one started.


I'm hoping I can get these 3 to harvest.......... I dont plan on doing too much. just letting them go, and I wont be feeding them for another 10-14 days or so.

So im debating on watering the 2 big ones today. I put my finger in.. about 3 inches down it feels a LITTLE moist... but not really. And the biggest plant is pointing up and really thriving right now, im not sure if I should water yet or not?

How heavy does the pot feel... if it has some weight to it maybe not.. but if its light as a feather.. I'd water.

the next time you waterlift the bags and feel the weight of them keep checking the weight of the bags until it is light then you will know when to water, hope this helps. do you have a ph meter?

it wasnt light as a feather... but I could tell the soil was drying out. So I gave it a medium sized watering... not even until it ran out the bottoms. There was no runoff.. didnt give it THAT much.

Hey Diamond. Wishing you the best if luck.
Are you able to get some 6500k cfls. Those lumens are great for veg. 2700k are more for flowering. I know autos spend most of there lives flowering., in my opinion, 6500k are good for the little bit veg they do have. I am no pro though. Just wanted to through some input your way. :booya:
Again., good kharma your way.
